Alone and don't care?

Post Reply New Topic

I do crave to be around people, ones I feel comfortable around, this is done via going to dinner, movies.Once I get that fix Ive had enough and Im feeling over whelmed, need to be alone for a while. Alot of the time my sister and I just hang out together. She's a NT but we like alot of the same things and take turns in buying new dvds of shows we both like (Family Guy for example). She doesn't get to see her friends much because of study and work but uses Facebook to keep in touch.

Personally, most of the time I find myself running after other people who could be my friends because I realise how useful and beneficial friends could be to me, but then there come those days when I just stop caring because my pursuits result in so much BS from other people, ie. people start to hate me because I ask them to hang out, or I start a conversation with them based on their favourite sporting team (this is a rare but awkward case), and I just go back to my video games, which have always been my safe haven and escape from the world.

given a choice between mean people and no people, i prefer the latter.

I don't need social interaction.

i like to be alone so much, that i am annoyed at anyone who interrupts my conversation when i am talking with myself.

i am intrigued to hear what i have to say, and i also can not wait to tell myself what i think about it.

how is that alone?

So true , growing up that compulsion to interact significantly exasperated my anxiety disorder Our brains have been hard wired for lonerisme so I say embrace your inner loner!

I hear you; I go to college, work and then come home and that's it. I don't hang out with anyone outside of those areas. That's just the way I am. I go to college for the purpose of getting a degree and I go to work to simply make money. Those are my only purposes. I have been alone for so long that I am one hundred percent use to it.

I do have friends but I only see them on birthdays. I like it this way.

This makes me understand how my boyfriend feels a lot better. Thanks for this thread.

I like to be on my own. I have one friend and we do sometimes do things together. We have the same interest in music and I can talk to her about AS. She's always wanting to do more and more stuff with me. I can find it overwhelming. I need my alone time. I think seeing her once a month is good enough.

I feel happiest when I'm not around people who aren't family. Acquaintances are fine but I've just grown used to people wanting to be instant friends with me only to see me as something to use to their disposal and it conflicts on what my ideas of friendship is. I don't actively seek out friends. When they come to me, I used to not turn them away but now I'm highly skeptical when someone wants to be my friend within minutes of being around. In my experience, it's usually the ones who want instant access to your friendship that think friendship is about what you can do for them and will have you doing chores for them. Sorry, that's not my idea of friendship and I feel better without it. What makes these idiots think that because someone has an akward quiet demeanor that it's okay to turn them into their servants? If that is what friendship really is about, count me out of it. I'm not a slave.
